Advice on a Camera purchase

is it me, or this this a sexy looking camera?

Nope, and Panasonic cameras are rubbish.

wow, that's too the point, unfortunately you provide no facts to back it up.

Panasonic cameras have the Leica lens & usually get rave reviews, minus a few noise issues on the FZ series cameras.

But we're speaking about the Lumix DMC-LX3. So please send some bad reviews on that camera. I'm sure you can find 1 or 2, but the majority of the reviewers say it's a good p&s for both the casual user and experienced shooter alike.

When I was looking through the reviews a year or so ago (I bought a Canon) they were consistently bottom of the pile because they were so noisy. Maybe they've turned it around, but it'll take more than a good lens bolted on to a shitty CCD to do it.

the LX3 has a good lens & CCD.

"DMC-LX3 comes with a completely new sensor that balance pixel count and ISO sensitivity nicely, 1/1.63-inch CCD to 10.1 mega-pixels; the result is a CCD that provides a generous amount of space for each pixel while offering superb sensitivity and a wide dynamic range made possible by maximizing the size of the photodiode."

^ wow the provided link said this in the conclusion:
"I am impressed by the Lumix DMC-LX3 sample photos, the Leica f/2.0 lens is superb, the sensor is a big improvement over LX2. Lumix LX3 photo quality and high ISO noise control is as good as entry level DSLRs!"

BUSTAK wants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
